Agree, even tho they reduced the cost, the fact that it requires KBs comes with major problems:

1- It's very frustating and unfun for healers to get it.
2- No point in grouping, since it's a competition for who gets the KB
3- In an area with lots of elite monsters, it's not uncommon to lose your bloody coins to those elite creatures.

Really disliked the world pvp featured in 5.4. Add that painfull grind to the fact that PvE gear is better in world pvp, and the fact that it has a 10 min cooldown, it makes one of the worst grinds in WoW.

Before 5.4 came out, I was looking foward to the world pvp system in 5.4. After 12 bloody coins, I'm already burned out and left the island for good. Like, half of the 5.4 content already burned me out, nice hum?

I kinda gotta agree with you here. I like the idea but the fact that it requires KB (killing blood not HK, it SHOULD be HK) is making it way too slow.

My problem is that I've killed a number of people and not gotten a coin, despite them not having a debuff. My suspicion is that any pet KB denies anyone the coin, which is really aggravating :/ at least if you don't get the coin, they don't have the debuff...

Yeah, the killing blow bit is overly harsh. I have no idea how I see people on the mushan mount already. I pvped for several hours last night, killed lots of people (on a rogue too, where fast auto attack should mean higher odds for KB) and got a whopping four. 500 seems insurmountable.

Atm i'm at 121 on my rogue. Basically stealing killing blows from groups waiting for an ambush when the guy is nearly dead.

You really cannot compete against ele shaman/mage/hunter or warriors - their "executes" will grant you a truckload of coins.

You know what's funny? When there were bugs with Improved Death that negatively affected Priests, it took Blizzard the better part of a year to fix them. When there's a bug that affects one of their stupid Achievements... a day or so. Nice...

Because changing the way a class functions is the same as changing a number from 10,000 to 2,000.

As for shamen totems - I wasn't getting coins for that few days ago. My gf turned pvp on, I used censer of agony and hit her totem. No coin. So either I did something wrong (?) or it was fixed at least 4 days ago.
